There is nothing she wouldn’t do for you! Show how much she means to you; make Mother’s Day 2012 all about her and treat her to something truly special.

Many people appreciate their mothers or mother figures, which include stepmothers, relatives, guardians (e.g. foster mothers), and close family friends.

This year I nearly lost my mother when she had an operation that was said to be highly unlikely she would survive due to her age. But Mum did survive.

At times like this it brings back to you all the things mothers are there doing for us. I know , as I sat for hours in the hospital I remembered all the things Mum did and places she took me to when I was a child and how as I grew Mum was always there supporting me.

Now I have children and grandchildren, Mum is still very much involved in all our lives. My grandchildren adore her and love telling her about what they are doing at school and about their sporting achievements.

How ever tired Mums are they always find time to do all the jobs needing doing.

At Serenity Lodge Day Spa I have put together some packages for Mothers Day or you can make up your own package that you know your mother would like, or even buy a package and let your mother pick the treatments she would like herself.

Your mother will feel so special receiving one of our luxurious day spa packages. Let us spoil her for you

Cheers,
Fay Rayner

How Valentine’s Day Began…

Why do millions of people all over the world show their love on 14th February by giving gifts to their loved ones on what we now call Valentine’s day? This special day is said to come from ancient Christian and Roman tradition. Apparently there were 3 Christian Saints with the name Valentine. One was a priest of Rome, the next was a bishop of Terni and not much was known about the third one other than he died in Africa. The strange thing is that it is said the three were all martyred on 14th February.

It is believed that the first Valentine, the one we are talking about, lived around 270AD in Rome. When Claudius became emperor of Rome he believed married men were too emotionally attached to their family to make good soldiers. With this in mind he decreed that soldiers could not marry. By doing this he believed he would be assured of having a better army.

This came as a terrible shock to the Romans but they feared the power of Emperor Claudius. However, the kindly Bishop Valentine also realised the unfairness of this decree. He saw the trauma of young lovers never to be united in marriage and planned to counter the emperor ’s orders in secret.

So, when soldiers wanted to be married they would go to Bishop Valentine and he would marry them. Unfortunately, it was not long before Claudius found out about this “Friend of Lovers” as he was known and had him arrested and subsequently executed on 14th February 270AD.

Roman Wedding

Young Romans observed this day annually, giving hand written greetings of love showing their affections. Valentine became the Patron Saint of lovers and was celebrated on the 14th February each year all over the world and still is today.

Attention Men!
Don’t suffer the WRATH of a disgruntled woman this Valentine’s Day!

Men, it is time to step it up, cancel that standing order at the florist, think outside the heart-shaped box and get that special woman in your life something she’ll really love.

She’ll be swept off her feet when you treat her with a Valentine’s Day gift voucher for luxurious treatments at Newcastle’s premier Day Spa, Serenity Lodge.

Let us help you show your love this Valentine’s Day with a Gift Voucher from Serentiy Lodge Day Spa – serving Newcaste, Hunter Valley, Central Coast and Sydney.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Pregnancy Massage Bed Revealed In This Short (1 min 19 sec) Video

How Serenity Lodge Day Spa’s Massage Bed Is Different

At Serenity Lodge Day Spa we have many years of experience in bringing comfort and relief to pregnant women through our pregnancy massage service. What we came to understand very early is that a typical massage bed with a foam wedge tucked under a pregnant tummy does not allow for full relaxation.

That’s why we hunted down and invested in a purpose built massage bed for pregnant women – one where you can lie face down on the bed in complete comfort. Take a quick look in the video if you haven’t already watched it.

“At 32 weeks pregnant this was just what I needed.”
Rachael Taudien, Sydney

Pamper The Pregnant Woman In Your Life

If you’re pregnant and desperate for relief from the stress of back or other pressure pain, or know someone who is, simply call Fay on (02) 4970 4333 to book your road to relaxation at her luscious lakeside day spa, Serenity Lodge.

To Your Serene Good Health,
Fay Rayner
